T'is the season

TAKE TIME FOR CHRISTMAS

 

 

I'm bound to write a piece for this season

It is on my heart to tell you the reason

To share of my feelings, it's all about love

For all of you riders, from the Master above.

*******************************

 

It's not all that easy to send one away

Many have felt that, when war had it's way

We send out our loved ones, to God knows where at

To fight for what's right, and then lonely we sat

We worried, we stewed, and hardly could bear

The thought, that maybe, no more moments to share

To wait for the time when all would be done

Would they be safe? and the struggle be won?

 

 

If you have not yet had that feeling inside

Thank God for the peace He has 'llowed you to bide

For many have learned and lost in the fight

And then life went on in the dark of the night.

No sharing of griefs would seem to replace

The loss of a loved one, no more to embrace.

 

 

The world has gone mad with it's race to succeed

For years it has happened, and with you I now plead.

The result is the same today, as before

We will not find the rainbow of lore.

It's peace that we need, of this I am sure

So read to the end, there is hope of a cure.

 

 

Jesus was born, His way to the fight

He didn't have to do it, for Dad it was night.

To let His Son go to fight with the devil

It wasn't easy, and nothing was level.

No rules were laid out, the battle was joined

The outcome was known, but had to be coined.

 

 

He lived 30 years and fought the good fight

The end was His death on a cross in the night.

For us He was born, so we might have passage

If He were to rise, we could loose all our baggage

Victorious He was and we can be thankful

For the fact that He came and put down the devil.

 

 

On Shopping and Santa we are focused today

We're losing the story of Jesus and hay.

He came to this world, for you and for me

Take time in your life, His glory to see.

Yes, take some of the day, that's has been set apart

And worship The Soldier, from deep down in your heart.

 

 

The future is bleak, while here we do ramble

For ages we have tried and made it a scramble

From one pit to another we tumble at best

Today we're no closer to meeting our quest.

 

We think we can do it, we have it in hand

But then we soon realize; our Captain is banned

From schools to the judge, from work and from play

When will we realize we've thrown it away?

What is our goal,,, will it take the right bend?

We need to consider our course in the end!

 

 

Forever is long, and there is no going back

Make up your mind now, and give it no slack.

Consider the road that leads to perfection!

Just ask Him to join, there'll not be rejection.

A family for certain, and sure we have troubles

But peace in the end and then,,,, no more struggles.

I haven't been on for several months and recent events brought me back. I wanted to see a forum where writing Merry Christmas wouldn't get you booted out.

 

We bought a motorhome earlier this year and have been a member of a couple of yahoo groups. Recently someone put Merry Christmas in a post, the moderators ruled this as violating the rule against arguing religious ideas. This set off a a lot of posts on the subject, with a bunch of people leaving. I wrote the moderators and asked to be dropped from this group as I said I felt they were wrong.

 

Tried another similar yahoo group I subscribe to today and I am no longer a member there, Guess there is cominality between them.. Guess no more help on our motorbike.

 

So Merry Christmas to you.

As one of Jehovah's Witnesses I do not celebrate holidays such as Christmas, Easter or birthdays. (pm me if you want to know the scriptural reasons why...please don't discuss it here).

 

But I will never take offence to anyone who wishes me well!

why should I?

It doesn't matter if I don't agree with them.

They could wish me happy Hunakkuh or Asalhka Puja Day......they are only trying to be nice.

 

If that is offensive to some then they are really unbalanced in their beliefs.

 

It would be different if they, knowing my beliefs, wish me a merry christmas with a snide attitude but that is seldom the case.
